The Borders Motocross Club hosted the third round of the Scottish Youth and Adult MX2 Motocross Championships at Duns in the Scottish Borders, at the weekend. With a huge number of riders taking part in this very popular two day event, the start lines for each race were jammed with talented pilots from all over Britain raring to do battle over the superbly well groomed track.
Adult MX2
No one could live with the pace set by Sean McDonald who extended his lead in the championship taking three race wins. Keeping him honest were hard charging Peter Kelly with Ewan Mclaren having a fine weekend with second overall.
Youth 125 Two Stroke
The youth 125 class produced what must be the rider of the meeting in young Ryan McLean. His first race on Saturday could have been a very short one as he ended up in a heap after a disagreement as to who owned the first corner. He then proceeded to blitz through the entire field to take the first of five wins. On Sunday the Youth 125’s and MX2 boys were put out together and again Ryan showed his superiority by beating all the older boys on their larger bikes.
Youth MX2
Tommy Fenwick gave his rivals something to think about with a qualification lap some six seconds faster than next up, Gary Sharp. He translated this stunning form into a first race victory but in the second race a big spill left Tommy with concussion and an end to his weekend’s racing. Gary Sharp, Steven Rennie, Mark Perfect and David Plank all had race wins but the most consistent rider over the weekend was Steven Rennie who emerged victorious
Youth 85cc Big Wheel
Matthew Flemming, still nursing an injured foot, had his work cut out to maintain his championship lead with Cameron Pendreich in stunning form, taking two victories for the overall win after some very close racing.
Youth 85cc Small Wheel
English raider, Sam Winterburn, was the man on form with only a last race DNF stopping him from taking a clean sweep. A Scottish trio of Danny Stalker, Greg Queen and Ryan Livingstone were taking it in turns to chase Sam home with Danny ending up with the most points after the five races.
Youth 65cc
Jay Lamb looked like he was really enjoying himself being far and away the fastest 65 rider out there. His enjoyment turned to pain, however, when he went down hard in a whoops section during race four and did not finish the race. This left Keiran Hunter on top of the points table with an overjoyed Elaine MacEachern beating the rest of the boys for second.
Youth Automatic 50cc
Aiden Campbell ran amock yet again to win all five races with Aaron McDonald chasing him home for all he was worth.
